摘要: 目的:探讨Wnt 通路抑制因子Dickkopf1(DKK1)在出生后小鼠牙发育各阶段的时空表达特点,为阐明Wnt信号通路调控牙发育机制提供理论依据。方法:选择出生后第0.5、6.5、12.5、18.5、24.5和30.5天的昆明小鼠并按时间分组,每组3只。颈椎脱臼法处死小鼠,分离包含第一磨牙的下颌骨组织后进行固定、脱钙处理,制作厚度为5μm的下颌第一磨牙牙体-牙周组织联合切片。采用苏木素-伊红(HE)染色观察下颌第一磨牙的发育状态,应用免疫组织化学染色方法观察小鼠牙体组织和牙周组织中DKK1的表达特点。结果:小鼠出生后第0.5天时,下颌第一磨牙牙胚处于钟状晚期;第6.5天时,下颌第一磨牙牙釉质发育基本完成,可见上皮根鞘向根方延伸;第12.5天时,冠部牙本质发育完成,牙根形成约1/3;第18.5天时,牙根形成约2/3;第24.5天时牙根发育达到全长;第30.5天时根尖孔缩窄,牙根发育基本完成。小鼠出生后第0.5天时,牙胚中无DKK1阳性表达;第6.5天时,成牙本质细胞中DKK1呈弱表达;从第12.5天到30.5天,成牙本质细胞中DKK1仍呈阳性表达,而牙周膜中开始出现 DKK1 表达,且随时间延长表达逐渐增强,牙槽骨和细胞性牙骨质中也出现 DKK1 的阳性表达,牙髓组织中始终呈阴性表达。结论:出生后小鼠牙不同发育期DKK1呈规律性表达,提示其可能参与了牙本质和牙周组织的发育过程。

Abstract: Objective: To study the expression characteristics of Dickkopf1 (DKK1) in different time and space during tooth development of the postnatal mice, and to provide the theoretical basis for clarifying the mechanism of Wnt signaling pathway in regulating the tooth development. Methods: The postnatal Kunming mice at days 0.5, 6.5, 12.5, 18.5, 24.5, and 30.5 respectively after birth were selected and divided into various groups by time,three in each group.The mice in each group were sacrificed and the paraffin sections of mandibular bone including the first molar were prepared at the thickness of 5 μm, followed by HE staining and immunohistochemical staining in order to detect the expressions of DKK1 in tooth tissue and periodontal tissue. Results: At 0.5 d after birth, the mandibular first molar tooth germ was in the bell stage. At 6.5 d the enamel development of mandibular first molar was almost completed, and the epithelium root sheath extended to the root direction. At 12.5 d the dentin development of crown was completed, with the root formatted about 1/3. At 18.5 d the root had formatted about 2/3. At 24.5 d the root had reached the full length. At 30.5 d the apical foramen was narrow, and the root development was basically completed. There was no DKK1 expression at 0.5 d, but it expressed in the odontoblasts and predentin at 6.5 d. From days 12.5 to 30.5,the expressions of DKK1 were positive in periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cellular cementum as odontoblasts, which were gradually increased with the prolongation of time. However, no expression of DKK1 was detected in the pulp. Conclusion: DKK1 shows regular expressions at different tooth developmental stages after birth, suggesting its potential role in the growth of dentin and periodontal tissues.
